Abstract
This paper reviews current cancer pain management guidelines, the challenge of managing pain across the care settings hospital to home. This also presents up-to-date information on the medications and strategies and the expansion of the World Health Organization's (WHO) analgesic ladder with several classes of drugs that are currently used to treat cancer pain: (1) non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), (2) opioid analgesics with opioid rotation and the control for side effect of opioid, (3) adjuvant analgesics including ketamine.
